Every horse is an individual

2009 NRHA Open Derby Finalists (7th)

At Schmersal Reining Horses, that's something we understand. Craig has trained and shown eight world reining champions, and every one has had its own unique style.

In 2008, Craig was the 2nd highest NRHA money earner, with show earnings over $300,000. Craig is the third highest NRHA lifetime money earner.

He's shown multiple Futurity winners and helped Non-Pros go to the top. That's because he trains every horse as an individual. He finds a way to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses.
